The latest bottleneck to confront the Indian healthcare system in scaling up molecular diagnostic testing for Covid-19 is shortage of tools and equipment needed to collect and transport samples called the viral transport mediums (VTM).

Until last month, polyester swabs were not manufactured in India and were imported from the US or China. With global demand for this product going up, it became difficult and more expensive to buy these swabs from either country.

"Indian Council of Medical Research has set a target of carrying out around 1 lakh tests across the country per day. For this crucial work, India Post with its vast network of 1,56,000 post offices has once again turned into a COVID warrior," the statement said.

These are South India Textiles Research Association (SITRA) in Coimbatore, DRDO-INMAS in New Delhi, Heavy Vehicle Factory in Chennai, Small Arms Factory in Kanpur, Ordnance Factory in Kanpur, Ordnance Factory in Muradnagar, Ordnance Factory in Ambernath, and Metal & Steel Factory in Ishapore, West Bengal.

Episode Summary

Jeff Meyerson is the host of the Software Engineering daily podcast and has also started a company called FindCollabs, an online platform for finding collaborators and building projects. Jeff started FindCollabs because he believes there are all these amazing tools but people are not combining and collaborating as much as they could, when so much good could be accomplished together. FindCollabs is especially useful for working on side projects. The panelists discuss the problems encountered when you try to collaborate with people over the internet, such as finding people who are facing similar and gauging interest, skill, and availability. Thankfully, FindCollabs has a feature of leaving reviews and rating your partners so that users can accurately gauge other’s skill level. Users can also leave comments about their experience collaborating with others. The only way you can show competence with an interest is to contribute to another project. FindCollabs is also a good place to look for mentors, as well as for Bootcamp graduates or people going through an online coding course. If you are part of an organization, you can create private projects. The company plans to expand this feature to all users in the future.The panelists talk about their past experiences with collaborating with other people.

In the Original Investigation titled “Prognostic Models Derived in PARADIGM-HF and Validated in ATMOSPHERE and the Swedish Heart Failure Registry to Predict Mortality and Morbidity in Chronic Heart Failure,” published online January 29, 2020, there was an error in the second sentence of the Results section of the Abstract. The denominator for the number of participants should be 8399, so that the sentence reads “The mean (SD) age of participants was 64 (11.4) years, 78.2% were men (n = 6567 of 8399), and 70.6% were New York Heart Association class II (n = 8399).” This article has been corrected online.
